so much better looking than the setup in the plans.

Thanks Jack.

Mustafa - I am not a Nationalist, but your rendition of Connie does make my Yankee heart swell with pride!

Thank you for your kind words. I am honored.

I turned back to the fighting tops. The tops were painted gray and the bottoms white. The strip surrounding the top was soaked in boiling water for about 10 minutes and then held in place with clamps. Once dry, it was removed and, after being painted white, glued back in place.

I finished today by installing the deadeyes that I had previously prepared for the top mast shrouds.

For trial purposes I formed a bobstay collar for the mast using a jig. I glued all the seizings with CA and trimmed excess ends. The result is good enough for me.

Good enough for me too! Nicely done.
